Haaland watch

HAALAND TO BARCA? LATEST...

We have now had this confirmed by sources in Barcelona...

Mino Raiola and Alf Inge Haaland have arrived in Barcelona.

They were collected from Barcelona's airport by members of Laporta's team

The pair are expected to meet Joan Laporta himself.

Although there's nothing unusual in Laporta meeting with player's representatives - he recently met with those of David Alaba - it will increase speculation over Erling Haaland's future.

However, Barcelona have a considerable debt and it's unclear how they would finance any deal for Haaland.

Date?

[patrickblue]

I can see Haaland and his agent flirting with many clubs.

This is going to be one hell of a circus

Of course. It's all a game to raise the stakes.

I am really curious if, let's say, they will get him. How many will point out the FFP?

[carolina-blue]

How can a club that is 1 billion in debt can sign Haaland?

Fat Slug Tebas and all the bent uefa Wankers
Will see it through , it’s good for Spanish football if they are buying” Galaticos . “

“What’s it all about”....

FFP only applies to City.

Sure, but still I am curious. Why take a trip there if Barcelona doesn't have the "back" to support this transfer?

All part of the game on Haaland's side, to create a Dutch auction. As for Barca, this new guy Laporta needs to make an impression. He'll be saying he tried but was outbid.

I've seen a few reports (after 12-00 so not April Fools) that while Raiola is holding talks in Barcelona over Haaland he's not talking to any Barcelona representatives and they're NOT in the race to sign him.

So Raiola doesn't like Pep? & Raiola is NOT talking to Barca but is in Barcelona the city? Anyone know the whereabouts of Txiki, you know the one who's job it is to recruit playing staff?

Guillem Balague said this afternoon (amongst other things) It is possible to arrive in Barcelona and nobody know you have arrived. So could be smoke and mirrors or am I being the eternal optimist

I don't think Barcelona will sign him, Real got better chance, that depends how badly they want him. I'm not confident of us neither. Chavs and Rags are ready to pay the big buck, he won't go To PSG, just can't see it. if he's solely after money and willing to let his agent run the show, forget it, we're definitely not getting him. If he's after both with football his primary objective, we got the best chance. So many variable, like I said embrace yourselves for the circus

That's it in a nutshell.

No need to show up at Barcelona just for laughs. When a player physically goes somewhere it's more or less done deal.

Se can forget this one though he was out of our price range anyway.

He didn't go, it was his father and his agent.
They've now gone to Madrid.

[PeterParker]

I really, really want him to our club. I never wanted anyone more (after Mido, of course), but I don't like at all this "tour" of his representatives as I am reading now they are in Madrid.
I am close to telling him to fuck off.

You want to be here, simple, sign. No fuck around.

[blues2win]

We can easily tick the football project and salary package boxes. The Club would have to pay way more to Dortmund than they’ve paid before to get him. Are they prepared to? Looks like Dortmund are prepared to sell though to avoid him going the following year on what now looks like a modest reserve price. Faites vos jeux.

They did exactly the same when he went to Dortmund.
Just sounding out interested parties.

From Zorc, Dortmunds sporting director........

"Yesterday I spoke to Mino Raiola. We’ve made our intentions very clear", Zorc told Sky Germany, with the outlet adding Dortmund have no plans to sell Haaland and wouldn't accept any offer below €150million.

Previously, Zorc had admitted it would be difficult to retain Haaland if the club didn't qualify for the Champions League.

Based on that do we expect to hear they will be in Budapest on Tuesday?

What's happening in Budapest on Tuesday?

Obi Mikel and Robben both physically went to the Swamp but ended up at Chelsea.
